Step-by-step explanation:

figurative language sometimes can mean something different from the literal meaning of words which makes more interesting writing.

Examples:

Hyperbole is an exaggeration for the sake of emphasis, humor, or effect.This is a way to get your point across without being too direct.

personification is a way of giving human traits to non-human object or thing which makes the writing more interesting because you're putting your own meaning to non-human things.
